Please refer to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 100, which includes a substrate 11, a light-emitting device layer 12, and at least one encapsulation layer 13.

The light-emitting device layer 12 is disposed on the substrate 11. The encapsulation layer 13 covers the light-emitting device layer 12 and the substrate 11.

The encapsulation layer 13 includes a first inorganic layer 131, a getter layer 132, an organic layer 133, and a second inorganic layer 134.

In the display panel 100 in the embodiment of the present application, a getter layer 132 is formed in the encapsulation layer 13 to absorb the gas released by the organic layer 133, which reduces the amount of gas in the encapsulation layer 13, and reduces the risk of gas breaking the inorganic layer. In addition, this prevents external water and oxygen from invading the light-emitting device layer when the first inorganic layer is damaged by foreign matter, thereby reducing the formation of black spots.

Optionally, substrate 11 includes a base and a thin film transistor disposed on the base. The substrate can be a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate.

In this embodiment, graphene is used as the material of the getter layer 132. Because graphene has excellent water and oxygen barrier properties, the water and oxygen barrier performance of the getter layer 132 can be improved. In addition, graphene is bonded with getter nanoparticles, which improves the dispersibility of graphene. In the microstructure, a spacer structure of layered graphene and gettering nanoparticles is formed, which can effectively absorb the gas released by the organic layer 133.

Furthermore, the efficiency of the getter layer 132 in absorbing the gas released by the organic layer is improved, and the stability of the connection between the getter layer 132 and the organic layer 133 is improved.

The fourth boundary 13d is located outside the first boundary 13a or coincides with the first boundary 13a. Such an arrangement improves the stability of the encapsulation layer 13 so that the second inorganic layer 134 is connected to the first inorganic layer 131, the getter layer 132, and the organic layer 133.

Optionally, the distance from the first boundary 13a to the second boundary 13b is greater than the distance from the second boundary 13b to the third boundary 13c. This arrangement further improves the stability of the encapsulation layer 13.
